Hello, first time PC builder here. I just built my first pc and tried installing windows but it doesn't seem to detect any drives. I tried lots of things to fix it and after some hours of research I believe it has something to do with Intel RST for which I can not find a version for the 14th gen CPUs. When installing windows, after not finding any drives to install it on, it tells me that I need a driver for my drive but I can't seem to find one anywhere I looked.
CPU: i7-14700F
motherboard: B760I Aorus Pro
SSD: Crucial P3 NVME
Any help/suggestion/insight would be greatly appreciated

The NVMe drive are compatible with UEFI boot mode only. Check if the CSM support is disabled in BIOS Boot tab.

CSM support is disabled. In bios menu, in the boot sequence category, the usb drive is stated as UEFI (UEFI: MyMedia MyUSB Drive 8.07) so I am guessing it is in UEFI boot mode, if this doesn't mean UEFI boot mode how can I switch it?

I'm not familiar with this motherboard. If I understand correctly the User Manual, I can see that there are two M.2 slots: M2A_CPU and the other one M2P_SB. If there are indeed two slots, try to move your SSD into the other slot.

Try to reset the SSD in its socket. Sometime bad contact can be the reason.

Have you enabled Intel RST in the BIOS? Unless you (eventually) want to use RAID, you shouldn't enable it. It will cause this missing device problem and require you to jump through hoops to get around it. If you don't plan to use RAID, Intel RST offers you nothing (well, except complications).
If you do want to (eventually) use RAID, this will require the inclusion of the RST drivers -- which are very difficult to get ahold of as they do not make them available separately. In general, you should be going to the downloads page for your motherboard in the motherboard vendor's web site and getting the appropriate Intel RST installation package from there. I believe that you can open this executable in a ZIP tool (7-ZIP, for example) and extract the driver folders to insert into the Windows installer boot process. [Aside: I have to admit that I haven't tried this myself; I've just read about it in discussions here in the Community forums.]
Hope this helps,
